IMAGINE.... A totally unique tour specifically designed to capture the essence and vibrancy of four very evocative regions of France and Italy - Provence, the Cote d'Azur, Tuscany and Umbria. Each on littered with wonderfully preserved cities and villages, incredible scenic drives and a proud heritage of culture, food and wine. To do them justice we have arranged to have four night stays in both the Provence and Tuscany regions, plus three night stays on the Cote d'Azur and amoungst the hills of Umbria. Yes, we spend ample time in the major cities...but then come with us as we seek out other sights such as Arles, Les Beaux and the Camargue in France and San Gimignano, glorious Lucca and Orvieto in Italy. Join us in Umbria for lunch with the locals in Citta della Pieve, and taste salami in the medieval village of Bevagna. Now that's hard to take!
